"I haven't felt anything amazing yet... oh my god, this one...what the? This one has *amazing* corner-cutting"

Wow he got a 9.51 at 9:51 in the video with exactly 10.00 ao5

Theres something satisfying about you assembling cubes..

At the end, I really do agree. When I started cubing (a few months ago), I saw a lot of different options for cubes that I wanted. A lot of people suggested the GTS2, the Valk, and the GAN Air for the best cubes. I got a GTS2 and didn't like it, but I couldn't get another one since I didn't have the budget for a new puzzle until after a while. You really should try out cubes before you buy them if you aren't sponsored and don't have the money. Also, reviewers should be aware of new standards for cubes. A lot of people say things like "All modern cubes have similar corner cutting" or "Basically what you would expect from a modern 3x3." I think that 3x3 performance has definitely not yet peaked. Corner cutting, stability, and speed are not perfected yet on any cube in my opinion.

From what I know, the holes in the corners are the main contributor to the signature Valk sound. When friction is created in the pieces, it vibrates the air inside the cube and sound ennergy is generated. That sound needs to go somewhere, and there are conveniently placed holes in the corner pieces, where the sound goes and bounces against the walls of the corner pieces, making it louder. This is what I believe to be correct, please do correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, and great video as always J Perm!

Both of them feel very different mostly because the Valk Power doesn't have the hollowed out pieces like the original valk does.

Try it with the gans air um and sm

4:12 “I haven’t felt anything amazing yet...” *right after he says that* *”Oh my god that corner cutting!”*

9:05, I learned that OLLCP from your tutorial!! :)

Geez dude, I remember when you were at just over 1k subs... And look where you are now!

hey so the valk elite is a thing now so... valk corners valk power edges valk elite centers

Yass I thought of this since it's release, oh and it sounds different because the corners are filled. I filled my old yan 3's corners and it sounds a lot quiter and lower pitched

Thank you for the recommendation and the discount, I have been wanting a less stiff cube.

i tryed to samsh the like button but i acidently hit the sub button :)

coming to a speed cube shop near you the latest Valk cube: The Valk Hybrid!!!!

I’m so excited! Just got a new cubicle volt square 1 In black! Can’t wait for it. And some other puzzles too

Wow J perm. What a video. Thanks! Also, there is seriously some magic when you assemble cubes. For me, to assemble, it would take eternity.

Did anyone else notice that he got exactly a 10.00 ao5? 9:51

0:51 “This is very PUZZLING”.

Could be that the small channel in the edge holds lube better

Yay! Now you have 30,000 Subscribes! Congrats!

Nice video!! They probably sound different from the type of plastic or maybe how many solves you have done and how much the cube is broken in.

Good job on 30k subs!

So cool that 2 big companies made another version of their previous cubes that are amazing with almost exact same mecahnisms from their previous puzzle.

The plastic could be softer

At the end when you said people are lying about the power being good was EPIC!! You’re right!

J perm ! Pls make a toturial on ' how to be sub 10 ' ! Pls make 🙂 I really need your help 😁 your toturials are awesome ! 😁😁

I think since the mechanism has changed ever so slightly in the power that it contributes to the feel like that small ridge in the power might actually play a big part in the mechanism

I think the Valk Power feels different because of the primary internals

My guess as to why the corners determine the noise is that, when you corner cut even the slightest bit, the corners are what accelerate most when the pieces move back to their places and collide.

That's funny! I'm in an other time Zone (germany) and the Videos every time Comes at 3.00am or 4.00am ! I swa the pieces too in october with a mfr and a gans 356 air um . It feels like a valk 3 at the end

Hell J Perm, would be interesting to test the same setup with switched cores. You mentioned there is a difference in the core build, so it should have an effect on the cube as well.

Possibly softer/harder plastic

I think we all want this again

Cubies with holes in them have a vastly different sound signature simply because of the holes. Example older Guo Guan. the metal threading in the power make a more rig and solid structure which probably reverberates at a smaller magnitude and different pitch also.

I did something similar to this but I put weilong gts edges in my mf3rs2 and it was like a more stable weilong gts

You should try just a core swap

Wow, that's pretty cool!

The reason they feel different is that the Valk Power has primary internals and primary plastic is supposed to feel identical to stickerless. So basically you get a stickerless feel but the caps allow for stickered variations.

Hybrid cubes? A blast from the past!

That ending was good :)

First time on this channel. Didn't expect you to turn into The Flash on crack when you used the cubes. Subbed.

Buddy! Make a cube set up video coz your cubes have a different type of sound and their feel.

*_MATS VALK WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION_*

Looks like polarity of the magnets is different between the cubes, so they repel when they line up instead of attracting.

2:40 when he started spinning that cube I was like dammmmmnnnn u just earned a sub

I stuck around to the end and thanks for the advice i am a new youtuber and trying to start a cubing channel

Try putting in some pieces from the Warrior W since those pieces work with it as well

So close to 30,000 subscribers

This is really "PUZZLING" hahahahah! 0:51

0:51 haha i see what you did there

probably because it is capped and there is no bump on the edges. also the primary internals may have an effect?

What method are you using? I'm pretty new to cubing, so please forgive my mistakes. It doesn't look like CFOP, is this something faster that skips F2L?

One of the reasons they feel different is because the power is primary which means the plastic wasn't chemically treated therefore smoother.

6:46 oof that polarity

I want to see someone do this with all of the fastest cubes of 2018 to find the fastest combination.

Idk if anyone mentioned it, but its probably the material of the plastic, because I've seen some plastics that almost self lubricate, so that's what I'm thinking

you've just made your own cube brand : synergy

"This is really PUZZLING" Ha get it

Hey can i ask you something?can you change like the weilong gts m2 with valk power?btw how can i get sub 12/15 cause i know full pll and almost coll and oll.What shall i do/learn next?btw my cross is done in 4 secs and down and my f2l is done at 10 seconds.But my lookahead is not good.shall i learn next full vls or ?

The Valk Power is primary, not made out of dyed plastic. It really changes the feel

you cheated! you flipped a corner, just kidding i'm not a non cuber

I have done this kind of experiment before with a yuxin and along v2

Nice one!

You can do the same with most yj 3x3 cubes and the mf3 and mf3s

I think if they had the same magnet strength ( I don’t know if they do) the results could be better

Jperm I have a regular valk,can you please let me know which lubes should I use to give it a buttery smooth feel,only weight lubes not lubes like dnm silk or something like that

Maybe the Power M with the Valk edges became faster because the magnets added weight, but didn’t magnetize anything, cause of the non-magnetic edges.

this video was a good idea although a bit random!! :)

The biggest thing since swapping Yuxin Blue springs with Thunderclap ones.

Its the primary internals that make the valk power feel different from the valk 3

Those snapping noises xD

30 k subs! Amaz!

Cool idea

I know this is so late but maybe the feel comes from the core,maybe the springs are a little bit different plus the power core has copper in it so thats my guess,the feels come from the core

The reason why the cube with Valk power edges and Valk corners feels kinda loose is probably because of the strength of the magnets. I'm assuming the Valk power had weaker magnets than your Valk 3, so the corner magnets outdid the edge magnets.

4:12 GET THE HOLY WATER

The power's plastic is primary and I think it is thicker by some sort

“Maybe these cubes are not meant to be mixed” Oh really?

Hey, this was a cool video, I didn't even know cubes had magnets! I am starting to take cubing seriously, could you tell me what program you're using? The one with the stopwatch.

Did you watch an extremely cool eve online ad before the video. One of the only ads I didn't skip

Your Z perms were unbelievably fast. Could you do a tutorial on specifically Z and H perms?

crazy bad cuber said something that might worth testing, when you buy/ ask for a new cube ask them to send you at leat 10 so you can compare the feleing of differnt cubes made in the same factory and make an avreage of how they work, because not every cube you get will be good even if it comes from a good cube design, and he explained this in his last video

As you are so good in cubing can you make a video on your cubing timetable so studies are not affected

i did the same thing with a qiyi sail and warrior w

Yeah a really cool invention.

I never thought about that

@j perm Question I have GTS2 M and Valk power M. sometimes I like one and sometimes the other more. leaning towards the power currently, could be because it may be at a sweet spot in it's lubing evolution characteristic if that makes sense. would the regular Valk be worth a try, seeing as how neither one was intended to be better then the other?? TBH which cube I use is not a limitation whatsoever since I'm a 20-35s solver. I'm not expecting to suddenly start laying down sub 15 solves. I just like options and having the nicest items possible for my hobbies. (this is an extremely cheap hoppy for me fortunately. casually racing superbikes takes the lead there) So price isn't much concern with how much enjoyment and value I get out of the cubes. I been cubing roughly 2.5 months. I wish I discovered this world sooner, I'm going on 32. Maybe I wouldn't be so mediocre! Thanks for the worth while video content.

Thank you for the last part of the video. You have a creditability in your videos because you are more concerned with honest opinions than creating sales of the newest cube. The right cube is not always the new cube. Great reminder.

you can only put the valk power magnets in one place because it uses slots

He's like Frankenstein, but with cubes...

Wish I had cuber friends at my school. Sadly, nobody there is a cuber :c

Looking at my non-cuber’s search history: How to solve a rubix cube Facepalm

Anyone else just waiting for the weekly 5x5 vid?

The absence of holes in the corners

Which timer do you use? And also should i get a Qiyi Valk 3 or any other which you would like to suggest?

qiyi warrior corners or edges in valk?

6:00 Hypercubes! The ones from the fourth dimension?

How is switching pieces from different cubes creating new cubes and also how is it accidentally doing it?

i think its cuz the power has primary internals and the valk has regular internals so maybe that has something to do with it
